This isn't open source (but free if I recall correctly- I think I have a paid version but I installed it years ago): Recurlog will absolutely fit the bill for medications or other recurring tasks that repeat based on last-done date or due date (with or without automatic rollover = will reschedule for next day if one is missed).

You can set reminders at a specific time, and easily log directly from the reminder notification. You can log multiple times each day if you like, and add notes to the logged entry.

You can either set a "simple" recurring task without extra data, or optionally add data fields for text, numbers, Yes/No buttons or a time duration.

Manual backup to file. Unfortunately no encryption or visualizations.

I use it to log medications, reminders for physical exercises, cutting the dog's nails, when the dog is due to come in heat and how long it lasted, monthly hair dye and products and results etc.

I know it's old (last updated in 2018), but it's phenomenal. I've been thinking of making a similar app with more features as a hobby project, but I also have a 10 mo baby so 🤷🏻‍♀️

Yes, agreed, some of it is probably just bluster to seem like they're doing something.

However, even if we agree that more police resources are necessary, I don't know how we should get more of competent, educated police in the short term unless we involve military (who do have some education at least). The last thing I want is for us to rapidly employ new "police" (ordningsvakter) with only weeks or a few months of training - that's how we get additional problems with US-style police violence on top of the gang violence problems...

I agree that the current government is implementing exactly 0 long-term strategies to help deal with the root cause of the problems, like strengthening and financing social services and welfare, healthcare and mental healthcare, schools and social programs, decriminalizing some drugs etc, to curb influx of underage criminals into the gangs and remove some of the economical incentives. The opposition is coming out with good suggestion after good suggestion, and the right-wing (by Swedish standards) government has basically just slashed welfare across the board in practice. They are going for only the hard-on-crime approach, which as far as I know has no real scientific proof of long-term efficacy unless paired with social/community interventions.

However, I think many swedes agree that the police need more resources - particularly people watching possible targets of future bombings and just more eyes on the gangs. We have one of the lowest number of police per capita in Europe, slightly higher than the rest of the Nordic countries tbf, but with much bigger problems with organized crime and violence.

I'm also horrified at this general societal development, but I can see the merit of involving some of the military in more eyes-on-the-ground kinds of operations for a few years until we have more of a grip on the gang situation. I prefer that to visitation zones, harsher punishments and more generalized surveillance of non-suspects being allowed.

But maybe I'm just naïve to the implications.
